    Hey,

     

    just try this "simple" DAX statement

    SoWDate = 'Calendar'[Date]  - WEEKDAY('Calendar'[Date],2) +1

    The second parameter of the WEEKDAY()-function indicates if Sunday or Monday is your first day of the week, for me this works like a charm, maybe you have to use a different correction part.

     

    Just using your Date column and the "Day of Week" column helps to adjust the above mentioned formula if necessary.

     



    and this calculates the End Date of the week

    EoWDate = 'Calendar'[Date] + 7 - WEEKDAY([DATE],2)

     

    Hope this helps

    Regards
